KaVontae Turpin Blocked Off from a Significant Offensive Role in Dallas

Sunday, March 29, 8:09 AM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin has established an NFL role for himself as an All-Pro return man and a gadget piece on offense. Across 15 games in 2025, the 29-year-old recorded 26 receptions for 396 receiving yards and two touchdowns while also rushing for 89 yards on 17 attempts. However, Turpin has not cracked 50 total touches in any of his four NFL seasons, limiting his fantasy utility. Heading into 2026, the Cowboys have three wideouts firmly ahead of Turpin on the depth chart in CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Ryan Flournoy. Dallas also made a significant free agent commitment to running back Javonte Williams, who profiles as a three-down workhorse. While Turpin's role on the Cowboys' roster is safe, he may not have a path to a consistent role in the Dallas offense in 2026.

KeAndre Lambert-Smith Won't be Active for Wild-Card Game

Friday, January 9, 4:31 PM

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Keandre Lambert-Smith (hamstring) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Sunday night's Wild-Card playoff contest against the hosting New England Patriots. Lambert-Smith got more playing time in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Denver Broncos with the Bolts resting some starters, but he injured his hamstring and won't be available for the start of the postseason. The 23-year-old had a very limited role in his first year in the NFL with the Chargers, catching just five passes on 12 targets for 51 yards and one touchdown in 10 games played. Lambert-Smith's absence against the Pats could lead to some more playing time for Tre' Harris behind Ladd McConkey, Keenan Allen, and Quentin Johnston.
